Throwback Thursday – Seizing Power

By Cynthia Sax on March 28, 2024

Seizing Power is a cyborg vs cyborg enemies-to-lovers make-him-beg cyborg romance. (grins)

Power is the self-appointed leader of the cyborg council and he can be a bit of an a$$helmet. Okay. He can be a HUGE a$$helmet. (grins)

Eirene Ours is the first freeborn female cyborg. She’s been trained by one of the best warriors in the universe (Rage, her father) and is the leader of the Rebel Cyborgs.

Power might be her genetic match but she isn’t putting up with any of his sh*t.

(laughs) This is SUCH a fun story.

Seizing Power

This cyborg believes he’s in control.

Power is the self-appointed leader of the cyborg council. Other members might debate situations. He makes the ultimate decisions.

When a threat to Homeland is revealed, he takes command of a fleet and ventures to the edge of cyborg-controlled space to investigate. He finds a rebellion led by a mysterious upstart he calls Cadet.

The plan Power derives is simple—he’ll quickly quash the uprising and teach its leader a lesson the warrior will never forget.

NO ONE challenges his authority.

Eirene Ours might be called a cadet by Power but she is NOT his subordinate. She is the arrogant E Model’s genetic match.

For much of her mature lifespan, she has desired the male, yearning for his dark-eyed gaze, craving his sure hands, longing for his respect.

That esteem was never granted. And Eirene Ours can no longer wait to earn it. There’s an external threat to their kind, a danger that might destroy them all.

The future of every cyborg is at stake. She can’t fail them.

Power will believe her. Or he will die.

***

Seizing Power is an enemies-to-lovers Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.

It features an epic battle between two equally strong cyborg leaders, plans that go terribly yet passionately wrong, and a love that will shake the entire universe.

Throwback Thursday – Seizing Power

By Cynthia Sax on August 31, 2023

There are leaders who are much beloved.

And then there’s Power. (grins) Power is the self-appointed leader of the cyborg council. Very few cyborgs truly like him. He has been forced to make some tough and extremely unpopular decisions. And he believes it is easier to make those decisions if they don’t involve friends.

Eirene Ours is a much more beloved leader. She’s the head of the Rebel Cyborgs and she believes passionately that certain decisions Power made are very, very wrong.

She’s willing to ‘neutralize’ him to protect her beings.

Even if that means losing her one chance at love.

Throwback Thursday – Seizing Power

By Cynthia Sax on January 26, 2023

I view Seizing Power as one of the big finales of the cyborg world stories. It brings together many couples (and more) from previous stories

Power is the leader of the Cyborg Council. He believes he’s the leader of all cyborgs everywhere.

Cadet i.e. Eirene Ours is the leader of the Rebel Cyborgs, the defiant warriors living on Mercury Minor.

These two determined cyborgs are enemies. They are also, although Power doesn’t realize this yet, genetic matches. They are destined to be together.

If they don’t kill each other and millions of cyborgs first.

Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – May 1st

By Cynthia Sax on May 1, 2022

I completed the deep revisions for Provoking Odium, the 1st story in the Cyborg Unity series (releasing in June), and have submitted it to my Awesome Editor. I LOVE the changes. The story is so much stronger now. I hope my Awesome Editor loves them also.

I’ve returned to working on Grin And Bare Him, the 2nd story in the Cyborg Unity series (likely releasing in October). This story builds on Provoking Odium so rewrites need to happen to align with its revisions. And, of course, nothing will be certain until that 1st story is finalized.

Have a wonderful week, my friends. (big hugs) Listen to the birds chirp. Dance in your chair. Play your favorite types of music. Fill your lives with song!

Provoking Odium And Deep Re-Writes

By Cynthia Sax on April 30, 2022

On Sunday, I mentioned I had deep re-writes on Provoking Odium last week. Now that there is some emotional distance between me and the re-writes, I thought I’d talk about why these re-writes happened.

I made a wrong story decision.

I forced the characters to go down a path they wouldn’t ever venture along on their own.

I knew in my gut I was doing this. I even had the right decision in my head.

But stars, I was so in love, so insistent on this path. It would be fresh and exciting, I told myself.

It might have been all that but it was also wrong for the characters, wrong for the story. My Awesome Editor could see that. I was too enamored of my alternate path to realize this on my own.

It is a much better story after the revisions. The ending is true to Odium and Briella.

It is now THEIR story, not mine.

Beauty And The Beast Mafia Squirrel Edition

By Cynthia Sax on April 29, 2022

There is a Beauty And The Beast romance happening in the Sax back yard.
The most beautiful gray/tan squirrel I have ever seen decided the black squirrel who tore out all his fur was her perfect match.
They are adorable. They chase each other around all day, rolling on the grass.

The Mafia Squirrels have also redecorated.
The pair of light blue men’s briefs that were hanging proudly from the top branch of the tallest fir tree is thankfully gone.
The squirrels shredded it into 100+ pieces and scattered the frayed cloth all over the back yard.

They were quite pleased with the underwear carpet they’d created.
When I picked up the pieces of cloth, they chattered at me and flung pinecones at my head.
I survived that bombardment and the back yard is now gitch-free.

(grins)

Topics: Dear Wonderful Hubby Stories | Comments Off on Beauty And The Beast Mafia Squirrel Edition

Dressed In Starlight

By Cynthia Sax on April 25, 2022

The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I walked into Camille La Vie in New York and I was dazzled by the dresses. So many of them looked like they were made from starlight. (smiles)

I could imagine a starlight-themed event featuring many of the couples (and more) from my stories.

I could picture Dita from Dark Thoughts wearing something like this to a grand event. She’d likely have a gun strapped to the small of her back and have daggers strapped to her boots.

Illona from Containing Malice might like this dress. The sleeveless style would allow her to more easily wear her medic jacket over top it.

This dress looks like it could be fabricated from projectile-proof material and that would appeal to Eirene Ours from Seizing Power. It also conveys strength, which she would love.

I could see Taelyn from Baring Grudge in this dress. The full skirt could hide a few explosives and she would have an arm designed to match it. Perhaps the mechanical arm would light up and cause the material to sparkle even more.

I think the floral and leaf design on this dress would appeal to Joan from Releasing Rage. It would remind her of the agri-lot where she grew up. The horizontal lines would appeal to the engineering side of her.

The classic lines of this dress might appeal to history-loving Quinn from B Free. B would worship at her feet. (grins)

The drama in this gown would appeal to Princess Nancy from Testing Truth. (smiles) Her Mom-Of-Her-Heart might try to talk her into having this fabricated in pink, however.

Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – April 24th

By Cynthia Sax on April 24, 2022

I received first round edits for Provoking Odium, the first story in the Cyborg Unity series (releasing in June), this week.

Ugh. The revisions were extensive. We’re talking burn half the story to the ground an rewrite it.

BUT stars, the rewrite is SO much better. Provoking Odium now hits me in the feelz so hard. (grins) I think my editor will love this revised story. And I suspect you’ll love it also.

Have a wonderful week, my friends. (big hugs) Go on a grand adventure. Read a book featuring a journey or a quest. Explore a nearby park. Forage through your closets. Uncover hidden treasures. And have some fun while doing this. Adventures can be silly, can be filled with joy and laughter!

Love At First Sight And More

By Cynthia Sax on April 23, 2022

I write fated to mate/instalove/love at first sight stories because that’s the only type of romantic love I know. I fell in love with the (now) Dear Wonderful Hubby at first sight and decades later, we’re still very much in love. He’s my best friend. I can’t imagine life without him.

But I also truly believe there has to be more than that first rush of ‘knowing’. I fell in love with Dear Wonderful Hubby at first sight. THEN I found out our stances on major life issues were aligned and that solidified our relationship.

The Dear Wonderful Hubby was working multiple jobs while going through school when I met him, for example. I was also working multiple jobs while going through school. We were both dedicated to our family and we were both extremely loyal, honest people. We believed in giving back to the world. We didn’t believe in wasting…well…anything (he drove a very old yet well maintained car). The list went on and on.

I try to show this type of alignment also in my stories. The love interests might not seem like a match at first but when we dig deeper, we see, at their cores, they hold the same values.

That’s the ‘Ever After’ in the Romantic Happy Ever After. (grins)
